Blog note. Jesus indicated that ‘fearful sights’ (various natural disasters) would occur leading up to the time known as the Tribulation and Great Tribulation (a combined seven year period of great destruction on earth). Although these types of things have occurred in the past for centuries and thousands of years, they could be identified as the ‘season of the times’ due to the ferociousness of these events. They would be occurring in greater intensity, severity, frequency, size, duration, scope … just like the pains that a woman experiences in labor the farther along she is in the labor process. We are in the ‘season of the times’ that comes just before the seven (7) year Tribulation/Great Tribulation period

… And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).

… And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)

… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)

… This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1)
Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. These verses are several of many such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This list can go on. Most studied Eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like a woman having labor.

Heavy rains pounded many parts of Egypt, including capital Cairo, on Monday, February 24, 2020, causing severe floods and major traffic disruptions. Authorities have decided to suspend classes in schools and universities nationwide on Tuesday, from Alexandria in the north to Aswan in the south.

The downpour, which began during the wee hours of Monday, led to massive traffic jams and inundated key roads. Several cars were also left submerged in floodwater.

Parts of Cairo were impassable, while trucks were seen dispersing to drain water from flooded areas of the city, which is home to roughly 20 million residents.

Citizens took to social media to air sentiments about the government’s lack of preparedness for the severe weather as nearly every year, major cities across the country are disrupted by severe flooding.

The new wave of floods raised questions about the country’s capacity in dealing with a significant rainfall. Infrastructure, drainage systems, and sewage, for instance, have all suffered from poor maintenance and a lack of investment for development.

The weather also prompted authorities to suspend classes in schools and universities nationwide on Tuesday, from Alexandria in the north to Aswan in the south.

Earlier this week, the Egyptian Meteorological Authority forecast that several parts of the country will experience a three-day wave of unsettled weather, beginning Sunday, February 23.

Moreover, the authority said rain will be accompanied by a drop in temperatures of around 4 °C (39.2 °F) to 5 °C (41 °F).

In October 2019, heavy rains struck the country, resulting in deaths of at least 8 people.
